Kyrie Irving is emerging as one of the top pitchmen in the NBA.

“If you make a list of the best actors who also have a sports connection, he’s edging into that list that includes LeBron, Shaq, Dwight Howard and Kobe,” ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell said. “When you’re thinking about executing an ad with copy, those are the guys you go to. Kyrie is edging into that group.”
